You’ve heard of “born again Christians right?” Well you’re going to be a “born again Aries”. But not without shedding your existing skin, snake-like first but although you’ve been talking/thinking about this all year ever since both Uranus and Jupiter entered Aries you keep procrastinating and holding off “until the time is right” – whenever “that” is!
Perhaps it’s a case of “It’s easier to stay than get out” as Mark Twain once said. You used to be daring and bold and throw caution to the wind - whatever happened to that Arian? Perhaps you need to wait until Jupiter is back in Aries again in Jan 2011 before you make your BIG move?
The area of indecision could relate to a job, relationship, or even an “awkward” situation – some Arians are engaged in legal battles - but its pointless having regrets, just do something about it. This month a fair percentage of Arians are relying on someone “coming through” for them and lets hope they do! This person/group will be close to you by blood, or someone you know really well - or have a close connection to in a professional sense - and they are key to your success or failure.
Money does appear to be the central theme and everything seems to relate back to this in some way. Whatever is going on in your $ world (Jupiter transiting your twelfth house and activities taking place "behind the scenes") it’s impacting on your interpersonal skills and concentration as well; creating barriers (and concerns) that needn’t or shouldn’t be there. Until this breakthrough occurs, irrespective of whether your associations are 5 minutes young or 50 years old you’re as flat as a pancake and communication feels awkward and heavy going, so you really do need to sort out whatever is going in your world to stop you feeling and acting like this.
Around 21st full moon or within a couple of weeks you will know where you stand financially and the money thing shouldn’t remain a consideration by months end (or early December). In fact there will be relief of sorts as a trying situation is finally dealt with and whilst it won’t be a triumph it will turn out better than you had hoped.
Your views will mirror Mark Twain’s (a Sag) “I’m glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again…!”
There is no point me repeating the same message that I’ve been on about regarding your new found “gusto”. You’ve got it now, so let’s discuss what you’re going to do with it.
Long range plans figure on your horizon relating to both work and personal relationships (although as I told you in September you will continue to have some reservations and some “too-ing” and “fro-ing” for the next week or so) but BEFORE the end of October you should emerge from the maze and be presented with a very clear path.
A new moon early in the month really puts the spotlight on a key relationship which could relate to work, love or even a legal matter but it’s not lightweight by any means.
Its decision that you have been weighing up for quite some time and the first of the “big steps” that the Cosmos has been demanding that you take. If it’s personal and things haven’t been to your liking for way too long, then there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll pull the pin now with a clear conscience. It’s not like you haven’t tried very hard and fought the brave fight and given the matter a LOT of thought.
Although there has been a significant mental shift over the past few months, unfortunately you are not entirely “liberated” as there are still limitations on the work front that you have no choice but to accommodate, especially if you are an employee. That said, wonderful opportunities will emerge this month and by November you will be in a whole different financial ballpark – farewell debt!
If you are self employed your financial restrictions will be lifted or you will finally pull the pin - which will translate to the same thing ultimately. With your money worries removed (you won’t be dwelling on this issue anymore) your hunger for new adventures will come to the fore.
Given that you’re an Aries it’s fairly inevitable that you will start perusing travel guides or switch your thinking to more pleasant past times like sky diving…..
You will definitely be airborne before the end of the year.
Next year will be one of the best in a decade so what are you putting in place now will ensure that you maximize the potential that this rare opportunity affords you. Inevitably there is a necessary clearing of decks to be done to allow for the huge changes ahead and to make room for the good fortune and broader horizons. You have been working hard and playing by the rules thus far but what is it that still needs to be done to ensure that your very existence, your position or place in the world and financial status is assured.
You will continue to have some reservations and some too-ing and fro-ing for another month but after than you will suddenly emerge from the maze and be presented with a very clear path. Any frustrations regarding your work, personal or family life will suddenly lift at that time and the challenging aspects of the past couple of years will be a thing of the past. You will be asked for a commitment or an undertaking of some significance this month on one particular matter and once you give it (and make sure it’s the right answer) miraculously the limitations and restrictions that have tailed your every move will drop off and you will be amazed how all that negativity and angst evaporates along with it.
What won’t dissipate in a hurry is the Cosmos demanding that you make a stand where your key relationships are concerned. You’re either going to be in it for the long haul or out of it. Your ability to stay the distance now especially with Uranus placing pressure on you to change and Saturn testing your relationships becomes an overriding factor. You will find that your existing relationships will be subject to both internal and external pressures (even the demands of your career can cause tension) and all this combined with your powerful need for change and freedom can cause great rifts.
Dig deep - some thorough and profound soul-searching is in order. I say this because this month in particular there will be some highly appealing opportunities presented to you that will test your faith and commitment. This may be a work opportunity or a personal one but you will be very tempted in either…
Well I won’t beat about the bush I think the first half of August will be tough. A Rumble in the Jungle with the people that you hold the closest connections with and you will be at odds with every interpersonal relationship at some point during this month, especially in the first two weeks.
It will be enormously frustrating (sorry to tell you this) and very little will seem like it’s going to plan or even functioning. This will embrace your working life, love life, family life and there is no “out” here. There are planetary reasons for this that will pass but they are as bad as they’ve been for a long, long time. There will be many relationships that come to an end this month, period. Some will clear the differences (after a showdown of sorts) and be able to move on in a more effective way, others will terminate and be beyond repair.
Power struggles permeate your world, the ante for some reason appears a lot higher than normal – there is something at stake between at least one party (probably financial) that is very high (or highly important) – a make or break scenario. You may feel you are fighting for your very existence, your position or place in the world, financial status or whatever it is that you are provoked by appears to be quite substantial.
Those who are dealing with exes are also having similar dramas, reneging of deals, or withdrawing of affections which is gut-wrenching. You are the most courageous sign of the Zodiac so you will surmount the challenges as they arise.
If it’s any consolation next year is one of the best of your life, August was meant to be a precursor to the good times, as it turns out its probably all part of the process, a necessary clearing of decks to allow for the huge changes ahead.
You already know that you’ve reached the fork in the road where your life officially branches off in another direction. The signpost reads Land of Opportunity and you take the turn – which is the metaphor for the turning point in your year. Actually quite a few Arian’s have probably already literally hit the road or are at least in the planning stages.
This month and next should be the more memorable ones of 2010 – hell you’ve got both Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, Jupiter to give you a prelude of the fabulous things you can expect from 2011. They will both safeguard you in their own ways, if Uranus pulls a rug out from under your feet, Jupiter will immediately provide the $10,000 Persian replacement if you get my drift.
Not bad.
The merging of these radical energies is really quite something, a blend of spontaneity hopefulness, recklessness, rebellion…optimism… and something is quite odd if you haven’t started to view things in a different perspective …maybe you are a late Aries in more ways than one!
This is all music to your ears because you adore change and thrive on adventure. Routine equals boredom to you so you will embrace the mini revolution and moveable feast that is on its way. You thrive under pressure – in fact you often concoct dramatic situations just to test yourself! What I’m talking about here is a major life change and whilst this has probably focused on your career thus far, this month it will switch to your home and domestic realm.
It is within your interpersonal relationships where you feel the need to finally start to get things sorted out. You’ll be encouraging growth and expansion and devoting your energies towards those relationships which are “keepers” and discarding the ones that you deem to be a lost cause. There will be rows and arguments this month as a result!
It would not surprise me in the least to find you at odds with just about everybody – from family members to work colleagues, or anyone who tries to exert an influence over you. Your inner rebel will be emerging now and you will struggle with your self-discipline this month and find it hard to reel yourself in.
Watch your potential for hair-trigger reactions to certain events as you may let it “all hang out". Make sure you think before you act or do anything on the spur of the moment – it could land you in trouble, especially watch what you say!
You can also make a lot of mistakes at this time and have to re-do your work or literally go back to the drawing board. There will be an ongoing theme for a long time to come of striving for career success and you are committed to increasing your public standing and reputation. If you have to make any changes there also, you won’t hesitate and some will find themselves in jobs overseas eventually.
You’ve craved a change of your circumstances and boy is change here - it’s a clean slate.
Halleluiah! Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel? No, it’s not the oncoming train although by now you’ve probably become quite the pessimist and expect as much. I know you reached the end of your tether and now are literally itching for some action, any action.
Take it from SB that around about now is the time to kick back the traces and let loose – that is if you haven’t begun to do so already! Not only is your mindset changing, your confidence gets a boost and you genuinely feel that everything is on the up and up.
In the coming months you will be prepared to take risks – with your life, job, relationships – anything and everything - to seek new adventures and really explore your full potential. There is nothing to fear but fear itself and…well yes, there will of course be some Arians who won’t change a thing and that is how certain organisms became extinct….by their inability to change and to adapt.
Oh well, for the rest of you, take a bow and pat yourself on the back for having remained both compliant and functional when all you really wanted to do was scream from the rooftops.
If you’re up to it, the three months from June to September in particular look very agreeable to start implementing any or all changes you want to make – Jupiter makes it all so expansive… but there’s more! You have Uranus the planet of change in Aries and quite literally anything could happen and suddenly – not to mention the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction which is a rare event. This is a period of advancement even if you do experience testing times.
Mental processes are odd things though and we can think ourselves out of wonderful directions just because we don’t want to rock the boat or change the status quo (unsatisfactory as it may be or just because it “is”) and this is going to be a conflict that you’ll be dealing with…the “will I or won’t I” one which will present challenges, mental and otherwise.
There’s no doubt about it, you will floor some people with your actions as you break free from any bonds that have held you in check and you’ll be standing up for yourself and what you believe in. Repeating what I saidlast month, there will be a gradual falling away of people, places and situations that no longer suit you (by your design) which will reach its peak next year.
Al Gore is a prime example of an Arian who has begun this process after forty years….
Well you’ve almost made it. Last month I told you it would be within 2-3 months now it’s any day and for some it will begin this month when they pass over that final bump in the road. For the rest of you there will still be a final stumbling block that you have to deal with before you can begin to move on and have nothing more to worry about anymore, particularly with regards to something of a financial nature.
After that you’ll be in the clear for a couple of years…
You won’t argue with me when I tell you that you’ve been through the hoops for quite a while, I’ve been telling you that via my site for weeks and it wasn’t in your imagination, it was bleak. You did dig deep even when the despair engulfed you and you felt like a trapped animal with no way out or even anywhere to turn. When your natural independence and competitive spirit was curtailed you most likely overcompensated and kicked back through irritation and to be fair was probably not a particularly kind spouse, parent, employer et al.
Well there is something very big happening in your chart. You can sense it in your increasing malcontent and frustration with just about everyone and everything. It’s almost a feeling of being caged isn’t it?
But…what you have developed very successfully as a result of these difficult times is self belief, tenacity and strength which will help you glide through future problems and impediments to your progress whereas previously you just felt blocked. There won’t be a drum roll to herald your new attitude and approach, merely a gradually falling away of people, places and situation that no longer suit you (by your design) but this won’t reach it’s zenith for another 18 months.
All you need to do now is brush up on your communication skills and tell people, (particularly those that you love) in a less abrasive way how and what you are feeling - and in some cases what you want changed.
You’ll be amazed at how much your life improves from now on.
It’s certainly been a sluggish few months and your fortitude has been zapped and pummeled. You sensed that your Arian fighting spirit had abandoned you for a prolonged period but finally it appears that your zest for living (and all its “ripe fruits”) returns with a vengeance.
You are feeling more than a frisson of excitement and energy about the future and you’re pretty certain you can see it in all its glory over that final bump in the road.
Yes, there is still a final stumbling block that you have to deal with before you feel completely unshackled, and you’re are not entirely sure that you should entirely believe all those folk who continue to tell you that you have nothing to worry about in a particular financial matter. There is definitely a money issue that weighs heavily on your mind and is taking centre stage in your life in some way.
There is also a relationship or family issue that is stressful and you feel that others are holding all the strings and not you. Are they purse strings? Perhaps they are entwined in some way?
It’s certainly not just in your imagination that things have been tough for a long time and whilst you’ve regained a lot of joie de vivre, you are not completely out of the woods yet and are really beginning to wonder what “lessons” the Universe appears to be so intent on teaching you.
You’ve been amazingly disciplined and have exhibited a degree of patience that one could almost have mistaken for a Taurus (Aries are so impatient as a rule) but you’ve had to dig deep in order to get along with others, survive and maintain your equilibrium.
You’ll be relieved to hear that within 2-3 months this key financial and personal challenge will be a thing of the past.
Once We Were Warriors …or at least once you were but your get up and go got up and went! What happened to that spirited Arian?
For longer than you care to remember you’ve been tested and subjugated by either an individual or a group which in turn has caused you to become somewhat subdued. That subjugation could have assumed many guises but I’m pretty sure you know who or what I’m talking about.
Suddenly from about mid March onwards you are the lone wolf embarking on a mission to successfully effect the regime changes that until now you have been unable to bring about. You are either jettisoning those that have held you back and attempted to thwart you or at the very least putting them back in their place.
The penny has finally dropped as to how constrained you’ve been within the “situation”.
You’ve been lying low these past couple of weeks in order to restore your energy and peace of mind which has been severely eroded but thankfully a surge of zeal has you back in the game. The old you is back and feistier than ever thanks to Mars on the move.
Aries is not known for their patience but immediate gratification is not the way to go now so don’t go in there swinging as the opposition might be meaner and more influential than even you imagined. There is an indication of a face-off towards the end of March but mix diplomacy with your assertiveness for the best results and make sure all your actions are above reproach.
If you miss this chance to transform your role and raison d’etre there won’t be another one for quite some time to come.
This months forecast is a closer look at Pluto in Capricorn.
Pluto in 2010 will be transiting your 10thhouse of career and reputation and helping you to define who you are and what you want. During this transit you can make your mark upon the world as you will have more drive and determination to succeed, hold more influence at work and have clearer career goals. You will seek out a career that provides you with a position of power or allows you to have authority over others. Alternatively you may want to break down someone else’s power and will do so if you get the opportunity. Whatever happens, you will be intent on pursuing your goals with a one eyed vision and will not be derailed by anyone from achieving your ambitions. Look out opposition.
Beware that this house also rules downfalls and therefore you must play by the rules and be co-operative with others and act in the appropriate fashion (see above) but be comforted that whatever happens, it is for your better good.
